I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Discover (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2023
Interview
4 rounds of behavioral and situational interviews with the team and stakeholders that the team regularly interacts with of varying levels. Seem to focus more on automation and technology enablement than the advertised "data science" role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How did you transform a process at your previous job? What is your comfort level with SQL?
